Clark County sheriff’s deputies responded to a bank robbery Wednesday afternoon in Northeast Hazel Dell, according to emergency radio traffic monitored at The Columbian.
Deputies were dispatched at 1:32 p.m. to KeyBank at 1217 N.E. 99th St. for a report of a robbery. The bank is on the east end of a strip mall on the south side of the street.
A bank employee told 911 that the robber did not display a weapon while he was inside the bank, according to radio traffic.
Deputies obtained an image of the robber at the bank and described him as a white man, standing about 5 feet, 5 inches tall who appeared to be in his mid-30s. He did not have facial hair and was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a dark-colored beanie, according to radio traffic.
The man exited the building and fled east toward Northeast Highway 99, leaving behind a note, according to radio traffic.
Law enforcement said they believed the man might have boarded a C-Tran bus, but the bus was checked and the man was not found, according to radio traffic.
Deputies responded last week to an afternoon robbery at a Columbia Bank branch in the Orchards area. An employee reported that a man entered the bank and handed a note to a teller, according to emergency radio traffic. The note stated that the suspect was armed, but the employee said no weapon was displayed, according to radio traffic.
The man exited the bank and fled, according to radio traffic. A sheriff’s office spokesperson declined to provide more information about that robbery, stating it was an active investigation.
